The innovators behind this cigar discovered that at 4 inches in length and between 58 and 66 rings, the "Nub" delivered almost instantaneous flavor upon ignition, yet smoked for a similar duration (average 1 hour) as other cigars that, at least visually, appear almost double the size. So, they decided to create a cigar of this size, the first of its kind, the NUb Cameroon 460 cigar.

Good, consistent cigar. Open, easy draw with plenty of smoke. You can't beat it for the price. One of my favorite go-to cigars. I like the Habano also, but usually go for the 460 Cameroon.

This is an interesting cigar - both because of the vitola size (short and thick) and the Cameroon wrapper. I found holding these cigars unlit also enjoyable.
While mostly smoking Cuban Cigars, there are a few non Cubans that I keep stocked in my humidors - this NUB just made the cut due to the uniqueness mentioned above.

These are a great daily smoke if you want something light, relatively quick but with a good amount of flavor. Initially I was concerned that the smaller size was a gimmick. After sampling several I can confirm, at least for me, the hype is real. Specifically, the Cameroons come up to their full flavor quickly and equally tolerate a quick 30 min smoke as well as they do an full hour engagement. At the cost, I also don't feel too bad if I have to set it down at the end of a quick smoke break. My only recommendation is to put them in a tube or carrier if you plan to travel with them. In my experience, they usually fare worse than other small cigars when unprotected in a coat pocket or unsecured in a briefcase.

A firm pack and a comfortable draw make this robusto a long smoking slow burner. I smoked it almost all the way through the republican primary debate. Of course, there were never any probing questions for the candidates about their stances on fixing the stupid smoking laws in the US, but I'd be surprised if Trump isn't a cigar smoker. Anyway... back to the subject. This cigar delivered nice flavors of toasted oak and cedar with a bit of a bite. I wouldn't describe it as smooth, but rather a full bodied smoke with a great aroma and an in-your-face-ness to the flavors. It deserves a solid medium strength rating, and if you like a nice thick chewy kind of smoke, this cigar is for you. The burn wasn't perfect, but it performed okay with a couple of touchups. Try pairing it with your best rye whisky on the rocks and you won't be disappointed. Oh... and be careful not to burn your fingers, because you will smoke this cigar all the way to the Nub.

Lovely. A great example of the Nub philosophy - a smooth but wonderfully flavorful puff.

Perfect short cigar. Nub Cameroon is darker but not overpowering because it is so short. If you want a quick smoke, consider this cigar.

Develops full flavor rather quickly, in about half the time of traditional smokes. Top shelf in my humidor.

Dark and rich this great little "Nub" cigar is pretty tasty, though the idea a short cigar developes it's full taste just by being short doesn't fly to me.
